Arbor Day in the CITY

Readers of newspapers are famlia.l
with the arguments in favor OF observing
Arbor Day in the country. Since A-Oor
Day was first established, fourteen years
ago, in Nebraska, more than 700 600 acres
of that centre of the Great American
Desert have now become a fertile oasis,
and over soc, 000, 900 trees have been plan
ed west of the Mississippi, with beneficial
effect. The INERTIA of ignorance has been
overcome, and the country is now well
acquainted with the benefits of the obser-
vance as practiced under the law of
twenty-one States.
Arbor Day in the city is another affair.
City readers know and approve of what
has been done in the country, but the
nearest to observance of Arbor Day in
cities is shown by Cincinnati, where the
school children read and write about trees
and are instructed in their care and uses
What reason is there why Arbor Day
should not be oberved in the city espec-
tally in the suburbs? Naples and birches
which are admirably adapted to narrow
streets, can be planted and viii thrive
almost anywhere. Even in the most
crowded parts of the city much can be done
to beautify streets by planting Japanese
ivy 1t will not make houses damp; on
the contrary, ii keeps them dry, and

twenty streets in Washington and all over

not in Annapolis?

Q Circuit COurt.

The Circuit Court was encreed tbfs
morning in trying the suit case ~ + -
King, publisher of the Marvlasd Goa,tfe
| against the County Commissioners for adj
yertising claimed to have been done bv the
publisher above his contract. Several of
the newspaper publishers of the city were
put upon the stand to prove the rate of
chafges per square and inch, in their re-
spectlVe papers, in order to see if the
charges were in keeping with that made
by Mr.. King. As the rates of newspapers
differ both in charges and squares. this
was rather unsatisfactory way of PROV
ing the correctness of Mr.. Kings charges.
III is claimed by the County that this work
was included in the contract of the County
printing, which the counsel TO, King
proved was not included in the contract.
The county further claims that if this
claim is allowed others will follow upon
the same ground from subsequent pub
fishers, and the county will be involved in
continuous law suits and heavy expense
A gentleman who was in court this morn
ing at the opening of the argument in
forms US that Mr.. Mccullough, counsellor
Tor the Board stated in his argument be-
fore the Court, chat the printing of the
county If given out by contract could be
done for the sum of $500, thereby saving
thousands of dollars to the county" But
this is not the kind of County Commits
sioner's Board we happen to have They
are not anxious about saving thousands
of dollars to the county" The CAPITAL,
at the request Of some members of the
Board, put in proposals at very heavy
reduction on former prices paid for the
same sevices but no attention was paid to
IFS rGPesais-n Notwithstanding that the
CAPITAL circulates more papers daily
than all the other papers printed in the
city circulates weekly.

The Wheat CrOp.

The State agent for Maryland reports
to the Agriculture Department as follows;
The condition of wheat is very unfavor-
able. The time of seeding was later than
in former years, owing to the bad state of
the weather Snow has been of little OF
no protection. The prospects Of grain are
gloomy, worse than for several years
back, owing to the severe winter and
spring and its many changes. The Hes
sian fly has committed no perceptible
damage.

Proceedings of the Senate.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The presiding officer
a bill granting pension to William Dickens
The ground of the veto is that pension had
been already, in December, 1886. given to the
beneficiary through the Pension Office. Re-
ferred
Mr.. Jones' of Arkansas, from the committee
on Indian .affairs. reported two Senate bills
granting right Of way TO the Spokane & Pelouse
and the Washington & Idaho railroad companies
through the Ceur dAlene Indian reservation.
Placed on the calendar
Mr.. Conger from the committee on commerce,
reported back, without amendment the House
bill to amend Section of the act of June 10,
1880, in reference to the immediate transporta-
ton of dutiaole goods, and asked for its imme-
date consideration.
Mr.. Hoar said he had presented to the chair
man of the committee an amendment suggested
to him by eminent business man of Boston,
which amendment, he understood, had received
the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury
but which the chairman of the committee had
forgotten to bring before the committee. He
asked. therefore. that the bill GO over for the
present and that course was adopted.
Mr. Cockrell presented petition, numerously
signed by merchants and manufacturers Of St
Louis, for the repeal of the internal revenue
laws. Referred.
Mr.. Malone, from the committee on public
buildings, reported bill for the completion of
the monument to Mary. the mother of Washing
ton. Placed on the calendar
Mr.. Mcpherson introduced bill to amend the
act of last session authorizing the construction
of the Arthur Kill bridge, and stated that the
board Of army engineers, to which the plans
had been referred by the Secretary of War, had
reported adversely to the proposed plans. The
bill which he introduced simply authorized a
change, and he desired the committee on COM
merce to act upon it without delay. There was
DO disposition to interfere with the construction
of the bridge. All that was desired was that it
should be constructed in manner that would
not be detrimental to navigation. Referred to
the committee on commerce. -
Mr.. Blair gave notice that, on Tuesday next,
he would ask the Senate to take up and act upon
the joint resolution proposing an amendment to
the Constitution as to authorize woman

! Mr.. Hoar called up the conference report on
the electoral-count bill.
Mr. Edmunds stated his understanding to be
that the conference bill was, in substance and in
| FORM except totwo or three lines, the same al
the bill which the Senate had passed over and
| over again.
| Mr. Wilson, Of Iowa, said that he could not
vote for the report because he believed that il
! proposed to assume jurisdiction which. in his
Judgment was prohibited by the Constitution
| The conference report was agreed to without
further discussion and without division and
| then, on motion Of Mr. Edmunds, the Senate
| at o'clock, went into secret session. Whom tho
! doors were reopened the Senate adjourned.
